Description

This cake is great because it is made without butter and with a small amount of flour. You can also add prunes or apricots to the batter if desired, substitute almonds with any other nuts — for example, pecans — and use brandy or rum instead of Cointreau.

Ingredients

  • Carrot 2 pieces
  • Almond 10 oz
  • Sugar 5 oz
  • Chicken Egg 4 pieces
  • Wheat Flour 0 oz
  • Citrus Zest Mix 3 spoons
  • Cinnamon a pinch
  • Cointreau 1 tablespoon
  • Baking Powder 1 tablespoon
